Configuring WAN connections between serial hosts

To configure WAN connections between serial hosts, you not only set parameters that are
defined in the specifications you receive from the service provider's Central Office (CO), but
you also set parameters on the basis of the condition of the line. To set the parameters for a
WAN connection, open a Host/AIM6 (Host/Dual) > PortN Menu > Directory > Directory
profile (the profiles in the Directory menu are referred to as call profiles), and set the following
parameters:
Parameter
Name
Dial #
Call Type
Call Mgm
Data Svc
Force 56
Call-by-Call
Bill #
Auto-BERT
Bit Inversion
Fail Action
PRI # Type
3-52
Specifies
Descriptive name for the profile. The value of the Name parameter
should be descriptive of the port.
Number used to dial out on this connection. Defines the far-end
number and can specify the method of placing the call.
Type of connection, such as switched or nailed, between the local and
remote codecs.
The way that the MAX manages calls at an inverse multiplexing port
when AIM, FT1-AIM, FT1-B&O, or BONDING is the value for the
Call Type parameter.
The type of data service the link uses, such as 56K, 56KR, or 64K. The
Data Svc parameter affects how much bandwidth is available for a
particular session, and how channels can be allocated to the call.
Whether the MAX uses only the 56-Kbps portion of a channel, even
when all 64-Kbps appear to be available. If you receive calls from
Europe or the Pacific Rim, use this parameter when the complete path
cannot distinguish between the Switched-56 and Switched-64 data
services.
PRI service to use when using a Dial Plan, Connections or call profiles
to place a call. To set this parameter, contact your service provider,
who will supply you with the correct services information.
Telephone number to be used either as a billing suffix or the calling
party number.
That an automatic Bit Error Rate Test (Auto-BERT) begins as soon as
a call connects and runs for the number of seconds you specify. MAX
status windows display the results.
Whether or not the MAX performs bit inversion when it sends or
receives data over the WAN. Bit Inversion applies only to calls
between codecs. It turns data 1s into 0s and data 0s into 1s. In some
connections, you need to invert the data to avoid transmitting a pattern
that the connection cannot handle.
The action that the MAX unit takes when it cannot establish the base
channels of a codec connection. When it cannot establish a call with
the number of channels specified by the Base Ch Count parameter, the
MAX unit can disconnect, reduce the bandwidth request, or establish a
lower bandwidth call and retry for the additional bandwidth.
The type of telephone number, such as National, Intl, or Local, that the
MAX unit dials for the outgoing call.
